My daughter graduated from Arrowhead. With the exception of a couple of teachers, I found that the staff really had very little interest in the students. As a top student, my daughter found that the teachers and counselors were ill-prepared to assist a student wanting to attend a top-notch university.

I was not going to take time out of my workday, but I felt compelled to provide some clarity to the people who think AHS is a Sports Only School. I would like to let you know that AHS supports the largest Choral program in the state of Wisconsin. In 2009, AHS group Broadway Company was awarded the

Sports play a big role at AHS as does the Academic success of its students. Like every school, AHS is not for everyone. As a parent whose daughter will be attending a small collage, AHS did a wonderful job of preparing her for the future ahead and created uncountable memories which she will cherish the rest of her life.

We moved when my son was in 5th grade. In high school AHS placed him, motivated him and the peers were great! This was the best thing we could have done and my son who will attend college with 24 AP credits. Great family values in this community!

Arrowhead truly does have something for everyone. Academics, athletics for sure, but so many other opportunities to participate and grow. I'm so glad my daughter is an AHS student.

I grew up in Oconomowoc. I visited Arrowhead in 10th gr. and left feeling jealous. The kids were more friendly. Arrowhead just seemed to have a more positive peer to peer atmosphere. They have an ice area, swimming pool, programs galore! We bought a house in the district because of the school. My

The speech teacher tested him, did the paperwork necessary to get him into a program. At no cost, he did 1/2 hr of speech twice every week, and less than a year later, he tested average- no more speech delay. Most schools lack in money for spec. ed. programs. Sports have a value and create a positive outlet, kids feel they 'belong'. I felt they were there for my son, no complaint. Read less

I am a current student at AHS and while I do not always agree with everything that goes on there, I do believe that Arrowhead is a top-notch school. I don't think you can get a better public education from any other Wisconsin high school. I was privileged enough to take a trip to an MPS school, and
... Read more you really get to see just how lucky you are that you go to a school where academics are valued. It's not a matter of being supported by rich families. A good portion of AHS families are your average, middle-class families. Add in a mix of (mostly) teachers who care about the success of their students and students who care about getting somewhere in life, and you ve got Arrowhead academics. Yes, athletics are a big deal at Arrowhead, but that just adds to the high school experience. Read less

I am an alumni of AHS, and I thought I'd write in and tell you all what a wonderful experience it was for me. I moved into the district as a sophomore after a year at a Milwaukee school.

Football is a huge part of the AHS experience, it builds a sense of togetherness not found at most schools. What hasn't been mentioned here is the great arts program, including the Broadway Company and AHS-TV. Overall, its up to the student to make the most of the school. Go Warhawks!! Read less

Wow, from what I am hearing from some of these comments, I don't really think some people get the true understanding of Arrowhead. If your kid wants to be an outstanding achiever in academics that is 100% possible and much more possible than at any other district in the state, in my opinion. The classes

And all this about athletics; yes athletics are extremely popular at Arrowhead, and rightfully so, Arrowhead was ranked the #1 sports school in Wisconsin by Sports Illustrated. People come here because they are interested in allowing their child to play at a big-time athletic high school. The academics also give the school national recognition though.
